Feast of Rebirth

Without Bai Ziqian's words, Yun Congfeng really fucking doesn't know.

Thinking about He Yici's reaction, it seems that it is not so difficult to understand.

He laughed awkwardly: "So that's the case. It's so late, why don't you go back and rest?"

"Because there is nothing else."

"That……"

Bai Ziqian said: "Sir, I've been thinking about a question recently, but I can't figure it out, so I'm here to ask you sir."

Yun Congfeng thought to himself that there are so many powerful teachers in the academy who don't ask you, why do they come to ask me? I want to go home and rest, so he said, "Tell me."

"Where is the boundary of this world?"

"This... my master told me that the terrain on this day is like a chicken egg. If you go straight from this point, you will return to the original point one day. It's just that this land has no real boundaries. Above the sky, there is no limit to endlessness."

"I have recently practiced the art of extending the Tao. The more I study, the more confused I feel. People often say that there are three thousand ways, and the three thousand means are infinite, but in my line of sight, the way is limited and very narrow."

Yun Congfeng didn't have much research on this aspect: "What do you mean?"

"This world is actually very small, very small, so small that I can hardly feel the existence of other towns except the capital. It seems that other people are not aware of this, and are still fighting for ridiculous power."

Yun Congfeng felt a faint chill in his heart, and he subconsciously thought that Bai Ziqian was just reading and reading: "What nonsense, the most important thing to study the art of profiling the Tao is to stick to your heart and not be confused by the chaotic road. Just think twice."

"Sir, do you think I've read it wrong?" Bai Ziqian suddenly took a step forward, but Yun Congfeng was caught off guard and subconsciously took a step back.

"No... I mean..." Yun Congfeng was tongue-tied and incoherent, and finally said helplessly, "I'm not proficient in the art of Taoism. If you want to explore this, why not find someone who has made more achievements in this area?" Master Discussion?"

Bai Ziqian stared at him for a while, then nodded: "That's right."

Yun Congfeng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling frustrated.

"Sir, don't you usually care about the affairs of the next court?" Bai Ziqian asked nonchalantly.

"It's...well, I'm usually busy with business, so I haven't inquired about it before."

"The Qingping Division should have the official newspaper sponsored by the Ministry of Rites to read, and the internal information should be known. The Qingping Division has a lot of talents and relationships. Mister usually chats a lot, so that you don't even recognize the son of the prime minister. "

……

"It's getting late, sir, let's go back to rest earlier. Xiaosheng will leave."

"Goodbye."

Xie Jitong stayed for seven days, during which half of the Qingping Division's elite lived in Xie's mansion.After a carpet-like search of the ruins, the Qingping Division cleared out hundreds of catties of gold and silver melted in the soil, some scattered gems, and a large number of porcelain fragments.

"Not to mention anything else, how could the porcelain be broken." The envoys of Qingping who were in charge of counting the pieces of porcelain all morning couldn't help muttering, their eyes were sore and they had to protect themselves from being cut by the pieces.

"At that time, the magic rain was cast, and the heat and cold alternated, so it would have exploded." Yun Congfeng rubbed his eyes.

"That's not right." One person said holding a piece of porcelain, "Look at the bottom pattern, it's from Xinglan Kiln. You can even pick it up and use it as a hammer. In this case, isn’t it hitting him in the face?”

"Businessman, Wang Po sells melons, sells melons, sells and boasts, I can't believe it."

"Xinglan kiln is a famous kiln in the world, and it has a good reputation, so it's not like this. Since it's already broken..." One person pinched a piece of shards, "How about letting me try it?"

It happened that the big guys were tired of sorting the pieces, and they all agreed, and some people even contributed the ice charms they carried with them.

The man picked a palm-sized piece of porcelain, threw it in the air, and lit the fire talisman with one hand, the flame swept out, wrapped the porcelain piece and burned it, and the green smoke rose straight up.

Burned for a long time: "Is it enough?"

"Is that enough?" Some people said to wait. After waiting for a while, the fire talisman gradually went out, and the person immediately called out the ice talisman. The cold current shot out, and the surrounding air suddenly dropped several degrees.

The man held the broken pieces of porcelain and carefully looked them over several times: "There is a crack in the center, but it won't be broken so badly like this."

"Then maybe the beams fell and smashed when the attic burned?"

"It's also possible that the thief who set the fire accidentally knocked it down."

"A thief who can enter the Treasure Pavilion can be so clumsy? It's not suitable for cleaning."

Everyone chattered and discussed, while Yun Congfeng listened, he didn't stop moving his hands. He happened to look at a fragment and gasped, "Wait, is the fragment you burned just now burnt?"

"Porcelain glaze, how can it burn."

"This one is burnt." Yun Congfeng said, and handed it to everyone, the fragment had blue and white cloud patterns on one side, but the glazed surface on the back, which should have been pure and flawless, was pitch black.

Immediately, someone took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the scorched glaze: "It doesn't look like it's burnt, but the lines seem to be dyed through with ink... What kind of thing will stain the glaze of porcelain?"

"Xinghuo Broken." One person said, "This mineral is flammable, soft, black in color, easy to grind into fine powder, and has a terrifying explosion power. It is easy to be affected by moisture, unstable in nature, and it is very likely to explode if it is slightly turbulent. It is difficult to mine. , it is more difficult to store, and it is a high-end product that can only be used by the firearms team of the Imperial Palace Guards."

"If this kind of thing leaks out, someone wants to plot rebellion?" One person got a chestnut before he finished speaking: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh, oh." The man rubbed his head resentfully.

"Just one thing, this thief may have something to do with the Forbidden Army of the Palace, or have access to military supplies such as spark fragments."

Everyone nodded in agreement.Yun Congfeng said: "Since there is this piece, there must be more pieces like this, everyone should look for it more, we can't make a conclusion on this piece alone."

A group of people got busy again, and a bag of debris was quickly cleaned up. All the broken porcelain pieces with burnt black spots were sorted out, and they were assembled into a porcelain ring. It seemed that it was the waist of the porcelain bottle.

With so many samples, it's easy to say.These tiles were sent to the Inspection Department for inspection. After going through the appraisal process, the answer was almost indistinguishable. Everyone knew the answer.

After a hard morning, someone suggested going out for a drink as a reward.Immediately getting the approval of most people, Yun Congfeng also followed suit and planned to go. Seeing that He Yici remained motionless like an idiot, he asked, "Aren't you going?"

I regret it after asking.He is the prime minister's son, so how can he take this seriously? Maybe he will be wary of him being courteous for nothing and harboring ulterior motives.

He Zhici seems to have just realized: "Oh, I'll go."

"..."

"You... seem a little slow to react?" Yun Congfeng asked tentatively on the way to the restaurant.

"Well, indeed."

"Then why do you want to be a Qingping envoy?" Isn't it good to go to a leisurely place and be a leisurely civil servant?

"The fortune teller said that my fate is weak, and I need to stay in a place where righteousness is full of murderous aura, so that I will not be haunted by evil spirits." He Zhi said slowly, "Zhong Hongyun is my godfather. grow up."

Yun Congfeng:? ? ?I...I lost it? !

If you really don’t ask, you don’t know, but if you ask, you will be shocked.Yun Congfeng was in a complicated mood, and he couldn't help wondering whether the other Qingping envoys could do the same with such a profound background, a big family and a great career... Isn't he the poorest one?

Restlessly following the restaurant, everyone sat down, ordering food and wine with laughter and nostalgia.The store prepared a series of fun things for them, and the atmosphere quickly heated up.

Yun Congfeng couldn't melt into it, and didn't really want to.Anyway, it's okay, so I just talked nonsense with He Yici: "Do you think this case will continue to be investigated?"

"Why do you think you can't go on?"

"As soon as the royal court is involved, I feel that this case is going to be dead." Maybe the big thing will be turned into a small one, and the trivial matter will be turned into a small one, and finally it will end.

"You think too darkly." He Yici even smiled for a brief moment, "Although I don't have deep feelings for my godfather...he is still a good person, even if this matter cannot be investigated, I will There is a suitable explanation."

"But what if the murderer is Second Young Master Xie?" Yun Congfeng had already imagined the worst and most ruthless ending, and perhaps Second Young Master Xie planned it from the beginning to the end.

"You are so bad."

"Cough...how do you talk like a child! This is just speculation!"

"Be quiet."

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Don't think about it, eat your vegetables." He Heci picked up his chopsticks: "Eat without talking."

Yun Congfeng glanced at the others, how could he justify this, the lively atmosphere should not be stirred up.

No more words.Yun Congfeng never stopped thinking. The thief detonated the Treasure Pavilion, no doubt to destroy the traces, but for some reason he threw the detonator into a porcelain bottle—maybe it was a coincidence?Since he has the ability to obtain military supplies and successfully break through the mechanism of the Treasure Pavilion, his skills must be extraordinary. What is he going to steal to take so much trouble?What is so valuable in the Treasure Pavilion?Phoenix bone?

At this moment, Yun Congfeng suddenly understood why Zhong Hongyun asked them to clean up the debris at the scene, not letting any one go.The things in the Treasure Pavilion will definitely have a directory file. After sorting out the fragments at the scene and comparing them with the things on the directory, you may be able to find out which one was actually stolen.

Will it be a phoenix bone?Or something else?Assuming it was the phoenix bone that was stolen, who needs the phoenix bone?

Yun Congfeng's thinking began to be unconstrained. According to this deduction, behind the thief is a big figure who has close connections with the palace.Thinking about it the other way around, what is the use of the phoenix bone?It is one of the rarest and rarest medicinal materials in the world, and it is a universal medicine primer.In his memory, he had read many ancient medical books in Baopu Mountain. Some of the magical prescriptions needed the phoenix bone as a medicine guide, and there was no medicine without it.

If we continue to think about it, there will be no results. All these assumptions are based on the fact that the stolen thing is a phoenix bone. If it is not, then we can only start over.Yun Congfeng was absent-minded, eating vegetables.

While the wine was hot, there was a sudden sound of cannon outside, which was deafening and woke everyone up.

Immediately, the long horn sounded, and the drums rumbled: "The emperor goes out, the common people retreat—"

Here comes the emperor.
